Stumbling out of the jungle

2/10/06

I’m starting to settle in here on Ko Phi Phi nicely, finally getting some solid sleep. Last night I saw some Thai boxing, enjoyed a couple of beers, and chatted with some Swedish girls. Sports, beer, and Swedish girls all in the same night? It’s true. Today I took off to the beach to work on the “white guy” problem. I’m slowly finding the Thailand I had imagined. A group of Thai guys called me over to join their game. They were kicking around a medium size plastic ball and it turned out that the game was just like hacky sack. All of those lunch periods in high school were spent wisely it turns out, because I played with these guys for about an hour and a half.

After the beach I decided on a hike, got lost in a swarm of angry mosquitoes, and stumbled out of the jungle next to a green bungalow full of the nicest folks. Three Brits, an Indonesian, and a guy from Georgia (as in former Soviet state, not Bulldogs.) We all ended the night on the beach at a fire show.
